All bone carvings are created by Joe Katoa. We started our Aotearoa.co.nz site with Joe's bone carvings in 1997.
Maori design bone carvings... Our Aotearoa.co.nz site started with 12 bone carvings in 1997. Our bone carver Joe has created a variety of Maori design carvings. We feature different NZ bone carvings: fishhook bone carvings, koru carvings, manaia carvings, patu carvings and sea carvings to name a few. The fishhook represents good luck, good health, peace, prosperity. Also safe travel, especially over water. Joe retired quite a few years ago.
